That corn syrup commercial
@buffy - I totally agree. My wife, who is British, is especially incensed by the lack of regulation over what can be marketed to consumers and how. Over in the UK they hold advertisers to much higher standards, and big pharma commercials espousing the virtues of a pill to fix all your woes are non-existent. (I'm not a huge fan of over-regulation, but come on...)
It's really quite irresponsible for these companies, in this case proponents of King Corn, to pitch this schlock.

I've been watching this show for many years now, and I'm glad FLN started rebroadcasting them (sadly, sans "Backdraft" theme-music).
It's hilarious to see "Iron Chef America" on Food Network fail so spectacularly at trying to recreate this one-of-a-kind show. Alton, I like you and respect you but please stick to your day job. Chairman Kaga's nephew, I can hardly watch you.
The hacking off of eel heads - asparagus braised in $2,000 worth of lobster - a piece of foie gras as big as my fist frying in a wok - the kitchy yet somehow familiar voice overdubs. That's what makes this show so freaking cool.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I'm strictly a BBQ-sauce-pizza-dipper. Actually, almost anything can be dipped into a good BBQ sauce.

World Leaders Eating While Rome (And Everywhere Else) Burns?
I agree with @stratusgd - other than some swanky bottles of wine, this isn't overly extravagant.
The menu is wonderfully representative of US products and appropriate to the season.
These people are not here to make a political statement by eating Ramen - and as @smallblondemom says - these are our guests.

Cook the Book: Monte Cristo Sandwiches
Maybe it's just me but I have a thing about grease dripping down my chin when eating a sandwich (don't get me wrong, a great big drippy Monte Cristo or patty melt is a tasty thing) but I gotta try this thing baked.

The texture of that meat looks creepy - and not in a spooky halloween-ey sort of way.

I don't put ranch on anything! Gross tasting stuff.

Amen "omnomnom"! (I'm from Mich, too. Same area)
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I absolutely love ranch on my pizza. Granted, I am a middle-school student (though homeschooled), and got the idea from my (middle school, homeschooled) friends after we started dipping French-Fries in Ranch (that's justified in Mich--here most of the fries are way too greasy or way too dry). We decided to try it on our pizza--and it's great. Only Hidden Valley (tm) works though. Deep dish pizza doesn't need it, fortunately. A group fave for us is cayenne pepper, fresh black pepper, ranch, and tabasco sauce. I agree, if it's good pizza, it doesn't need condiments, but (1) pizza in metro-detroit isn't that good, and (2), it doesn't matter if it needs it--if ya want it, I say put it on unashamedly!
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I have NEVER heard of this culinary habit of ranch dressing on pizza until I read this in the Wash. Post:

It just seems like such an incongruous flavor or condiment to add to a pizza.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
Nothing is better than Ham & Pineapple pizza dipped in Ranch.
I hated pizza until I tried it with ranch. Any type of pizza goes great with ranch really except Mexican style, I usually dip that in sour cream.

Was this excessive ? I cannot say. There will always be folks who have more and those who have less. Hoping and working to have more than one now does is what breeds incentive for people to do more and be inventive. What I do know, is that in my opinion only, it is sad that we feel the need to pick at these types of things in this venue. This is a forum for people who love food not a political arena for those who agree or disagree with what one group or another is doing. Hopefully it can revert to or stay that way.

Ha! I win! The sticky beans on last night's episode were pseudo-yucky, too. Thanks!

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
Hey there EatersRegret, I live in the UK and if I can get Ranch dressing here in Wales, I'm jolly sure you can get in in London! My local Tesco has one by Paul Newman. Never had it before so can't compare it with any other makes...bet you can get to a nice deli that would sell it, too!
NO NO NO NOT ON PIZZA!
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
What a bunch of snobs. Don't put Ranch on pizza!! Eat whatever you want on pizza.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I just looked up ranch dressing and DID throw up in my mouth! Never heard of anyone dipping pizza crusts in any kind of dip, never mind what sounds like is probably some mass-produced, salt and fat-fest. You crazy Americans and your food mutilations. I need to cheer myself up by looking at a bird getting eaten by a spider.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I grew up in OK, but I have lived all over: KS, MO, NC, UT, CA and I have noticed that people eat different things based on where they are from and how they grew up. I don't think its fair to persecute one another for something we've never tried...all great combos had to start somewhere...ie: biscuits and gravy, sweet tea, chicken and waffles, etc. I personally LOVE Ranch or Garlic Dipping sauce on the crust pieces of my pizza, but only on the crust. One thing that I love to do with leftover pizza is top it with cottage cheese and a little black pepper! Call me crazy, but I also believe, its my pizza I can do what I want with it.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
OMG, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Never mind ranch alone, but the thought of ham, pineapple, and ranch ? My goodness, what a sacrilege to the almighty pizza.(NY style of course)
Well does any other really even exist?
I'm a Northern transplant here in the south (NC)
This is where I first discovered people using ranch as a condiment rather then the ones I had been brought up around such as Grated cheese or crushed red pepper .
C'mon, everyone knows if the pizza is good you don't need anything else besides napkins!
Come to think of it, some of the pizza I've tried to choke down here in the south might have actually tasted better with a jar of ranch for dipping!
Now it's starting to make sense.
I finally found a great pizza joint here without having to disgrace the almighty pizza pie!

That corn syrup commercial
The ad is a lie because in direct conflict with their punch line, "That like sugar, it's fine in moderation?" simply doesn't hold water. You can't have it in moderation because it sneaks into everything. If you eat any prepared sauces, drink soda, and eat any one of a zillion prepared food products - you will be getting more than "moderate" amounts of HFCS.
Cook the Book: Monte Cristo Sandwiches
I love the idea of Monte Cristo sandwiches more than I've loved the execution. This recipe looks lovely, though I think I'll try it with Inglehoffer's cranberry mustard rather than mixing jam and dijon.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I used to hate pizza but then I tried it with ranch on accident. I'm the type of person that will eat something if it toches something else. So I try it and love it.
We have frozen pizza at home or we order pizza so it's easy. Then the only restaurant I get pizza at is Pizza Hut and they have a salad bar so ranch is there.
I dip all kinds. Ham & Pineapple in ranch is the best. BTW I only dip, I don't pour it on top.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I am a 4th grade teach in Las Vegas, and most of the time when the school serves pizza for lunch, it also happens to come with a lettuce salad and a small cup of ranch dressing. Nearly every kid spreads the ranch on top of the pizza without a second thought. I think a lot of kids now think of ranch as a condiment and not a salad dressing.
I used to live in Nebraska, and a pretty large percentage of the 30-and-under crowd there can't eat pizza, even good pizza, without salad dressing on it. I have never understood.

Ok, who knows what the host is shouting at the opening buzzer to start cooking? My husband says it's "Haute Cuisine!!" I think maybe "Go Cook!" or "Allez Cuisinier!!" Both are french which doesn't make sense. What is he really saying? Now that it is back on FLN, the debate has resumed.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I don't have anything against ranch dressing but I think it is just disgusting on pizza. It just turns into a warm soupy mess. Gross.

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I enjoy ranch on my pizza; especially bacon ranch. I started doing it when I was an undergrad living in my dorm and I was out of blue cheese which is what I usually used on pizza. The ranch flavor was great with the zesty pizza sauce and cheese.
